Exclusive: officials consider removing London weighting from staff who continue to work from home
Whitehall officials have held high-level talks about taking away a salary boost awarded to London-based civil servants amid efforts to encourage workers back to the office.
The Guardian understands that several government departments have considered stripping some officials of topped-up wages – known as “London weighting” and worth about £4,000 to offset higher living costs in the capital – if they resist at least a partial return to Whitehall.
